Buena Freshman Settles the Score Again

Buena High girls’ soccer player J.J. Toohey has taken a liking to the Southern Section playoffs.

Buena (20-2-4) will play St. Lucy’s, a 2-1 winner over Santa Barbara, in the quarterfinals Thursday.

Toohey scored her 14th goal on a pass from Melissa Sanchez in the 23rd minute. She scored both goals in the Bulldogs’ 2-0 first-round victory over Valencia.
